- [Instructor] This course assumes that you've already installed Ruby on Rails and learned its essentials. If you need help, there are two other courses in the library that teach how to install it and the fundamentals of using it. Those are Installing and Running Ruby on Rails 6 and Ruby on Rails 6 Essential Training. This course will assume that you already know the topics covered in those courses, including installation and startup, the MVC architecture, that stands for model viewing controller, how requests are handled going from the routes to the controller actions to the templates and how to use ERB templates with instance variables defined in the controller so that we can render dynamic content. And you should understand the basics of application CRUD, which is create, read, update, and delete, and what it means to have a restful route. The MVC architecture that Ruby on Rails uses looks like this diagram. This course focuses on the elements that are on the left side of the diagram. The controller makes decisions about how to handle a browser request and then renders a view template as a response to the browser. We'll be learning how to put the built in features of the controller and view to good use.
